I agree Andi! - Iโ€™m looking so much forward to all the talks and discussions on genome plasticity in this symposium. So please consider to join us in June in Copenhagen for #smbe2026

U.S. scientistsโ€™ lives and careers are being upended. Here are five of their stories As the second Trump administration sends U.S. science into upheaval, countless researchers are fighting for their futures

A screenshot of Victoria's cover slide for her presentation. There are 6 fungal cultures on petridishes and the title of her research project "A phenotypic evaluation of the growth forms of insect pathogenic fungi on various nutritional media"

For the last 2 months, we've had an incredible bachelors student in the lab ๐Ÿคฉ

Last week, Victoria presented research on growth and germination rates in entomopathogenic fungi grown in different media types๐Ÿ„๐Ÿฆ—

So proud of her and everything she achieved ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ”ฌ #AcademicSky #MycoSky

Precious cargo: I carried a three-million-year-old tooth in my hand luggage As we mark 100 years since Australopithecus africanus was first described, molecular scientist Palesa Madupe explains how palaeoproteomics cast light on the biology of South African hominins.

Wonderful piece, @palaeoprotpalesa.bsky.social! Keep flying that flag! ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

So happy to see this perspective out initiated and expertly led by @michaelhabig.bsky.social on the possible regulation of horizontal transfer of accessory chromosomes in fungi

Wonderful to experience the sane place here after the bot deluge over at the other one.

Just sharing a few more pics of my morning bike-to-work rides.

This is a great study! I enjoy the ingenoius and simplicity of the approach showing how mutations in a genotype space navigate a fitness landscape with many peaks. Wonder whether the same patterns applies to traits with less hard selection...https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adh3860

This image is a perfect representation of why I've lost interest in academia. Everyone is expected to do three different jobs simultaneously, and I have no desire to do that to myself.

I don't disagree that most of these things are very important for *someone* to do, but it's too much for one.
